I received a letter from a Howard Myers Jr. who is a
descendant of William Henry Myers son of James J. Myers.The letter was written to his father Howard Myers Sr. several years ago.

LETTER AS IT WAS WRITTEN:

Morgantown, W. Va.

1,March 1980

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Myers,

Enclosed you will find all of the information that you
asked for.This is all that I have
and I hope that it be what is needed.

The Myers Family is a very old family in the U.S. and many
of your ancestors fought in the Revolution of 1776.

As far as I was able to find out Jacob Myers was with
George Washington Army that was destroyed at Fort Necessity between Cumberland
Maryland and Uniontown, Pa. in 1755.There
is no record of him being killed or discharged so I suppose he deserted and
settled in the region.

In 1772 Springhill Township, Fayette, Pa. where our
ancestors were there were living at the that time Henry Myers, George Myers, and
Ulrick\h Myers.Anyone of these or
all could be your ancestor.

The Henry Myers that I have record of lived in Preston Co.,
Va. now W.Va. on the Pa.-W.Va. line near Bruceton Mills where he was born and
where I have never been able to find out neither have I found out where he was
buried or died.He was twice
married and the second marriage was the result of our ancestors.In the first sheet showing Henry Myers and wife Nancy, I have shown the
children of the second marriage.The
first wife was named ???? Daniels.I
have no first name but to this union were several children possible as many as
12 or 14.Several of these children
went west prior to and during the gold rush to the west.

The enclosed will give you your family back as far as I can
go and hope it will help.

Signed by

Charlie W. Myers

Charlie Myers is the son of Harrison Lonzo Myers.Harrison is a son of William Henry Myers, son of James J. Myers. You will
find the information on the sheet that is mentioned in this letter under William
Henry Myers.

James J. Myers born Nov. 19. 1830, Fayette Co., PA.Died March 28, 1897. He married
Ruhamah Piles November 7, 1852

I found a James Myers age 20 Listed in the 1850
census
working as a Coffin labor living with a family.It shows that he was born in PA.I could not make out the name of the family he was living with.Also listed under his name on the census is another labor name FREDERICK
MYERS age 15.He was also born in
PA and I believe this is James brother.

I am not sure if this is our James J. Myers but the story goes like this:

"History of Tucker County" 1962 by Fransler

On November 7, 1862 Imboden with 310 mounted Partisan Rangers, set out from his camp on the South Fork of the South of the South Branch, on his second raid through Randolph and Tucker
County. It was the purpose to destroy the railway bridge at Rowlesburg. There was a parley over JAMES MYERS who fired on the truce flag carrier and wounded him in the foot. Imboden wanted to hold him for trial for firing on a flag of truce in violation of the established rules of warfare. Hall contended that Imboden was deploying his troops during the truce, also a violation of the rules and that the offenses therefore nullified each other. This solution was finally agreed upon and the matter dropped. Hall surrendered 29 men and himself, the remainder of his Company being in Rowlesburg. He claimed he had no ammunition but when his men were disarmed forty rounds were taken from each men. When breakfast was finished Hall and his men left their comfortable quarters in the court house and started for
Rowlesburg.

Frederick is listed on the 1850 census age 15, working with
his brother James J. as a labor working making coffins.

Children of Frederick and Hannah:

1) Florence Myers.She
married Jackson Savage

"The
Coal Center"

Elias W. Myers, one of the most
popular barbers in Tunnelton, and for a long time check-weighman for the
miners at the southside mines, is a young man of great energy and accurate
business methods. He was born in Barbour county, August 17, 1877,
and is the eldest son of Daniel H. and Nancy (Kisner) Myers. His
education was obtained in the public schools, after which he took a course
in book-keeping. In the spring of 1898 he came to Tunnelton as a
coal miner, and two years later entered the employ of the Gorman Coal Co.,
at West End. He was soon selected by the miners to represent them as
check-weighman. Two months later a lockout occurred, and he returned
to the Tunnelton mines. On June 25, 1901, he was elected by Local
Union, No. 237, U.M.W.A. to represent the miners as check-weighman at the
mines of Merchants Coal Co., and served as such until May, 1902. In
the summer following he attended a barber's school in New York, where he
learned the tonsorial art, and in the fall of 1902 opened his present
shaving and hair-cutting establishment. While serving as
check-weighman he introduced an improved form of weigh-sheet, and
semi-monthly report sheets, which were approved by the company. He
is a republican, and a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

Helen Myers said that she had heard that Effa's death may have been caused from a member of the family.
I talked to Bessie Bolyard on 2 different occasions and both times she said from what she could remember:
Effa was only 18 and unmarried when she got pregnant. Her mother and father wanted to teach her a lesson from it and
kept her locked in her room. Back then babies were born at home, and when she went into labor she screamed for help.
She wanted her parents to get the neighbors to help and her parents ignored her. When they finally got help it was to late.

Birth Records, do hereby certify that the Birth Record discloses the fact that
Benj. H. Myers son of James T. Myers and Louvary Myers, was born in Monongalia
County, West Virginia on the 4th day of July, 1894

In the summer of 1985, I, Benjamin's granddaughter Cathy Myers
Simmons went to visit Benjamin at the VA Hospital.I recorded a conversation with him for my genealogy
research for the Myers family.Here
is the information I got from his words on the recording:

He was 92 years old and did the best at remembering things.His doctor at this time
was Dr. Lucton.

He said he was drafted into the army when he was 19 years
old and he became a boxer.I asked
him what his greatest memory was and he said "boxing and winning against
Jack Dempsey while he was in the Army".He said "I was 19 years old and I knocked him out and left him
laying in the ring".He said
he quit boxing when he was 24 years old.

He said he was a minister from 1946-1950 with the Salvation
Army.He was a Sergeant Major
Assistant corps officer and followed the Officers Gilberts from Grafton to
Alexandria, Virginia.

He told me he was born in Morgantown, W.Va. but didn't know
where his father was born.He said
his dad had lots of brothers and sisters and their names were:
Daniel, Elmer, Osie, Myrtle, and Billy.He said their were more but he couldn't think of them all.He mentioned something about a boy name Harrison who was his Uncle
Billy's boy.Billy may have also
had a son name Willy.He then
shared a story with me.He said
that Uncle Billy's wife made Lye Soap one time and they cleaned all the railroad
tracks and the trains weren't able to go up or down the tracks.

When he was young he may have worked in Mungo Co. for the
Coal mines per Helen Myers.

Helen was 12 years old at the time her mother Roxie died.She said her mom died from working herself to hard in the gardens.She had surgery and died from locked bowels while in the hospital.

Roxie had a sister name Lizzy who was married to her
brother-n-law Charlie Myers.No
records have been found as of yet on the families of these 2 sisters.

Helen
told us that Roxie was from Masontown, W.Va and may have been born there.She had some sisters, Lula, Minnie, Lizzie and maybe 1 Brother.Effie was living with a family in the 1900 census who list the wife of
Head as Minnie. Need to verify if this could be Roxie's sister Minnie. (See Eavenson Page)

BAKER.

Notes for David Cecil Myers:

We have all been told over the years that Roxie was pregnant with David when she married Benjamin and he raised him as his own son and it was if he was always part of the family. Some of you have always wondered who his biological father was. Some time while
I, Cathy Simmons was talking to him he told her that David's father was a Earl
Field and I believe he said David Earl Field. Their is little know of who Earl Fields is or even if their is any truth to this name.

July 21st, 2001- A couple weeks ago I made a trip to Preston Co., WV. I obtained a copy of Benjamin and Roxies marriage license dated March 11, 1919. David would have been
2 years old at the time of their marriage. I also found a David Earl Fields b.
1888 which makes me wonder if this could be his true father. I searched for birth records under the name of Everson and Fields and couldn't find his birth recorded anywhere. My father later told me he remember that his father had once said he adopted David which means his birth records were probably sealed. We went to the adoption counter to ask about obtaining adoption information and I was told that I would have to talk to the Judge and he wouldn't be in for a few weeks and I could write to him. I am in the process of obtaining a copy of his death
certificate to send along with a letter to the Judge. When I do I will post this information for everyone to see.
David was 2 yrs old at the time his mother married Benjamin
Myers. Ben later adopted David. I am currently seeking
information to find proof for his family on his biological
father.

Social Security records show the following information:
